NEW YEAR -- NEW BLOG --

Hiya folks !
I hope this finds you well and happy.  Heck, I hope this simply finds you.  :))
Been a long time - again, hasn't it?  I haven't written, and I haven't cruised blogs, in a very long time. I can tell you this though - my disdain and resentment for Facebook has only grown over the recent years.  Blogging and talking back and forth on 'our' blogs brought me -- and many of You - so much joy  back in the day.  I miss it .  I miss it often.  That is probably why I have such a hard time writing on Facebook or even moreso Here on any sort of a regular basis.  BUT-- that is why I am Back now.  Because - I used to love it... and I DO miss it.  There are days -- many many many days that I will sit here and 'write blog posts - in my head' ... good ones.  what a waste.  If all the 'posts' that i have 'written in my head' .. would have made it to these pages.. this would still be a successful blog, and there would probably be several of you blogging again.   so -- maybe some of you will start again.  maybe not.  but that's ok.. that isn't why I'm back.  I'm back because I'm a writer, and I love to write.  I need a place for all the thoughts that fill my mind .  and ya know what else I miss about blogging?  I made people laugh.  i want to make people laugh again.  i want to make people FEEL.  I have an ability to do that.  some folks don't.  some folks don't have a desire to do that.  so.  I'm here.  I'm back.  And I hope I won't be on this new new journey by myself.  because ya know why?  well.  Stick around and and find out.  It's all in my head right now-- maybe you can help me figure out what to do with it.
there.  I just wrote my first post of 2016.  a full month late but it is here.  I have told myself (and not for the first time-- but for 2016 ) I old myself -- I WILL stick with it this time.  Blogging... will be part of my morning routine again.  if only for this year.  that's my goal.  I need a challenge in my life right now, and this seems like a good one .
does anyone want to join me? If so, let me know in the comments.
Also-- feel free to leave comments as you read along at coffee time.
just like the good ole days.
come back tomorrow, and I'll tell ya some of my upcoming plans.  I gots thangs ta do right now.  I just wanted to honor my commitment to myself and get this 'first' post up here.  Yay-- I did it.

Y'all have happy days in your worlds today - I will !
